Sandstorm: My 12th Blog of the year 2026

Well, welcome to our readers here in New Zealand, & around the world, I'm Whetu Ngapo & you're tuning in to my KiwiAvenger blog here on blogger, but first that most Americans are fleeing into different countries such as Canada (For which is safe in North America, compared to Uruguay in South America, then Iceland in Europe for which is the most peaceful country in the world, followed by Mauritius in Africa, as well as Singapore in Asia, & our country of New Zealand in Oceania), Spain, the UAE & Monaco thinking that the United States is a hostile country under the leadership of that greedy American leader due to factors like political polarization, social issues, and a desire for greater safety, with some relocating to countries like Canada and Spain. While reasons for leaving include concerns over political and social divisions, worries about school safety, and the perceived resurfacing of racism and intolerance. As other motivations include seeking economic benefits like tax optimization in places like the UAE or Monaco (And many travellers are avoiding the US for reasons regarding to the hostility of the nation thinking that it's unsafe & dangerous to be in that country). 

And secondly that the Springboks (The Kangaroos league team of rugby mainly due to them wearing dark green jerseys) are by far the most disciplined team in the world of any other tier 1 nation in terms of encouraging players to tackle low since the legislations regarding to dangerous, high tackles in rugby such as head contact, have been tightened which began back in 2017, compared to Scotland for which is the worst of them all, & that legislation change has helped South Africa win both Rugby World Cups back to back, & 3 Rugby Championship title wins in 2019, & both 2024 & last year in which have also gone back to back, & games can be won by discipline such as sides whose discipline is far better & improved, wins matches, compared to teams with ill-discipline such as penalties, yellow & red cards, lose matches.

And thirdly that I have not mentioned the news report about British celeb & comedian Alan Carr (The ex-host of the Friday Night Project along with Justin Lee Collins) who has fled to Orlando, Florida in the United States after becoming the UK's most hostile man, as he joins his nephew & his niece to escape from public backlash, ahead of the Celebrity Traitors final in which the former Chatty Man star has been a stand-out on the reality show that's had the whole nation gripped.

And lastly that I was bursting out laughing when guys who wore the First Order stormtrooper costumes playing the Star Wars & Cantina themes during the 2nd Ashes cricket test between Australia & England at the Gabba in Brisbane, & I was like that hey! I might even still be a Star Wars fan, but I have been a long time fanatic of the space opera franchise (And the first time I watched Star Wars was on an old videotape of Return of the Jedi back then when I was living in Raetihi with Dad), but there has been an update in the Ashes cricket as England got resoundingly beaten by the dominant Aussies who picked up the win by 8 wickets (Same as in the first test) as they are 2 - 0 down in the series, but what is their strategy for the English to beat Australia? Well, I have no moral words to describe it, but I love to see England win the next game as well as the series, but they can't because of Australia have always been winning throughout due to their utter dominance, especially the bowling attack led by none other than the champion bowler of Mitchell Starc who is sort of like an prized fighter who is always been the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.

So that is my 660th blog of the year 2026 (MMXXVI) & my 12th of this year, viva Ukraine.

Baby I Don't Care: My 11th Blog of the year 2026

Well, welcome to our readers here in New Zealand, & around the world, I'm Whetu Ngapo & you're tuning in to my KiwiAvenger blog here on blogger, but first that there was an incident involving Tom Curry 'Who knows what he is doing' as the incident in question led to some rather unsavoury but unfavourable scenes between England & Argentina after the game with the Felipe Contepomi who described Curry as a 'bully' backlash accusation as 'laughable' rumbles on (And he could be landed with a lengthy suspension for that fraca on the Argentinian coach by pushing & abusing him in a heated end of the game as tempers flare after the English had won).

And secondly that America's war on AI has begun as new efforts this week in Washington to effectively come down hard on individual states from governing AI have provoked bipartisan backlash erupts over push to stamp out states from regulating & limiting the use of AI that had been enforced by that greedy American leader (And Dad has one called Meta AI that he takes pictures of our photos, especially like the one that I was once a baby or toddler with him during the 90's period for which I saw).

And thirdly that MS Now is facing backlash over reporter's 'beyond sick' National Guard shooting response when Fox New contributor Joe Concha reacts to MS Now reporter Ken Dilanian's comments following both National Guardsmen were shot in Washington by illegal immigrants in one particular incident that was really unfortunate, this is an outrage! A scandal! They should be arrested on the spot! Throw them in jail, & throw away the key! Please, but they needed to be deported for their actions towards the National Guard troops (And the latest that they granted a security boost for the National Guard for further guarding the city of Washington D.C.).

And finally that last year marked 20 years since New Zealand golfer Michael Campbell (One of both Kiwis to have won a golf grand slam along with Sir Bob Charles, but now we have Lydia Ko (Who is female that won an Olympic trifecta of gold in Paris 2024, silver in Rio 2016, & bronze at the delayed Tokyo Games in 2021) as the country's most successful golfer) went on to win the US Golf Open at Pinehurst Golf Club in North Carolina in the United States where the man from Titahi Bay near Wellington (Who is of Māori descent just like his fellow Kiwi golfer Phil Tataurangi) emerged triumphant over rival golfer Tiger Woods during the final round of the championship, in one of the greatest sporting memories of our nation (And before he turned pro, Campbell, Tataurangi & others like Stephen Scahill was part of a victorious New Zealand side that won the prestigious international youth golf tournament called the Eisenhower Trophy way back in 1992 which was held in Vancouver, British Columbia in Canada where they finished 7 strokes ahead of the United States, while both Australia & France finish in a tie for 3rd).

So that is my 659th blog of the year 2026 (MMXXVI) & my 11th of this year, viva Ukraine.

She's So High: My 10th Blog of the year 2026

Well, welcome to our readers here in New Zealand, & around the world, I'm Whetu Ngapo & you're tuning in to my KiwiAvenger blog here on blogger, but first that there was once a story about American actor Will Smith (The star of the Men in Black movies) had been suspended for a decade from attending at the Oscars for that incident involving him assaulting American comedian Chris Rock in 2022, in the aftermath of heckling Rock as he hurled abuse towards him so that's the reason why he got a 10 year suspension for that (And it was during the Oscars that it had marked the 50th anniversary the first Godfather movie came out in cinemas so Francis Ford Coppola signed off by uttering the words "Viva Ukraine" because of the country had been invaded by the country who started that dreadful invasion since 2022 (A year before the Gaza war began in 2023, & lasted until October last year where a peace deal had been set up by that greedy American leader, & that was during COVID times that lasted from 2019 in which the very first case of that disease had been spread at a lab in Wuhan, China therefore triggering a pandemic in March 2020, until it ended in May 2023 that we're now into a post-COVID world), but the latest is there won't be any peace deal even though with that terrible conflict could be extended throughout.

And secondly that last year (2025) was a turbulent year in terms of mediocre standards such as the return of the greedy American leader (Who I personally bear hatred towards him along with my Mum & Rejean just because he is such a bully (And I'm always getting intolerant to him & their other peoples cultures, especially the Americans, thus making the greedy American leader being my public enemy number 1) when he always said mean things towards people (And is he trying to influence the most controversial late German leader? (The one who murdered millions of Allied people during World War II) Mainly due to the fact that he is of German descent), even though with the rise of conservatism in the US, & around the world being on the move, especially here in New Zealand that we're currently influencing) to the White House for the first time since he left office in 2021 when he introduced tariffs for which the country is crippled by imports, & their war on immigration that Hispanic people had been affected by the change of legislation by setting up an anti-Immigration task force as the US is tightening their laws on immigration in which they turned into nationalist Germany during the 1930's (And how bad is it there? Well, many travellers are avoiding the country best described as the most hostile), then tragedies occurring such as disaster had happened in the new year (Such as multiple incidents in the United States such as the ones in New Orleans, & Las Vegas, as well as the wildfires spread across Los Angeles, & civil unrest regarding to their anti-immigration stance), then the terrible conflict that has still been around since 2022, & the Gaza war had ended in October with a peace treaty deal signed by the United States, & the rise of women's sports, especially in England such as the retention of the Women's Euro in football/soccer, as well as the Women's Rugby World Cup victory for which was the biggest women's rugby tournament ever.

And thirdly that the poster for the next Football/Soccer men's World Cup had been pulled due to a strong negative reaction from fans for which the sport's governing body FIFA were having a rough start in November, so poor old FIFA as the football/soccer governing body's official campaign unfortunately had to be removed as a result of backlash from the fanatics (And oh, it is a shame out there, absolute shame).

And lastly that there was a rugby related story about French legend Sebastien 'Seabass/The Caveman' Chabal who can't remember any test matches that he was involved in which he appeared 62 tests for his country of France, mainly due to amnesia that he had head injuries before whilst playing the game of rugby although thinking about his brain & memory for which he is like a 90 year old due to the brain trauma that he had before, just like former All Black Carl 'Zarg' Heyman did that he cannot remember anything once he hung up the boots according to his autobiography 'Head On' that he released in 2023.

So that is my 658th blog of the year 2026 (MMXXVI) & my 10th of this year, viva Ukraine.

P.S. And the motor racing fraternity there in the United States is in mourning as former NASCAR driver for 20 years competing in the 2002 to 2022 NASCAR Cup Series seasons of Greg 'The Biff' Biffle who has tragically passed away in a fatal plane accident that took the life of him & his family, but they already sent thoughts, prayers & heartfelt condolences go to his loved ones who is gone then, rest easy.

Nancy Boy: My 9th Blog of the year 2026 (AKA Waitangi day special)

Well, welcome to our readers here in New Zealand, & around the world, I'm Whetu Ngapo & you're tuning in to my KiwiAvenger blog here on blogger (And kia ora but happy Waitangi day to you all here in our country, especially our Kiwis who are home & abroad as we celebrate the signing of the treaty in 1840 which happened about 186 years ago in that we became independent from the British thus creating New Zealand's national day (It was once New Zealand day from 1973 to 1975 before reverting it to our current name that we always use), but first in the cricket that I was watching Cricket's Greatest Blunders & Wonders show that my 3 favourite parts of the programme were Pakistan dropping 5 catches inside a day against Australia way, way back in 1995 as part of the fielding mishaps segment, then Indian bowler Ajit Agarkar getting dismissed 5 ducks in a row during India's tour of Australia also way, way back in 1999-2000 (It was actually 7 straight during Australia's tour of India way back in 2001) also as part of the ducks segment, & Curtly Ambrose's incredible 7fer against Australia at the WACA way, way back in 1993 where the last time the West Indies would gone on to win the Frank Worrell trophy series against Australia as part of with the ball segment.

And secondly that New Zealand rugby legend Sean Fitzpatrick revealed his all-time All Blacks XV such as Tony Woodcock at loosehead prop, then Dane Coles at hooker, followed by Olo Brown at tighthead prop, while the 2 locks are Brodie Retallick & Sam Whitelock, while rounding out the loose forward trio are Michael Jones, Richie McCaw & Zinzan Brooke, then the halves combo would be Aaron Smith at halfback then Dan Carter at first five, as well as the midfield pairing consists of both Ma'a Nonu & Conrad Smith & finally, the outside backs would be by far the unstoppable force in world rugby of the late Jonah Lomu on the left wing position, while Ben Smith gets the nod at right wing while the fullback will most definitely be Christian Cullen.

And thirdly that I'm taking a week off from blogging on the weekend of the 29th to 30th of November, in light of & as a mark of respect of the late Carole Webb who was gone on November 17th last year because of me having to deal with our whanau tragedy just like the late Nan did a decade ago back in 2016 on January 6th when she passed away as a result of a terminal illness (But I'll be returning to doing blogs starting from December 6th, same day as Carole's Memorial lunch at Frank Bar).

And finally onto the gaming stuff as an expansion pack for F1 25 has been confirmed with the DLC pack confirmed to be this year's Formula One World Championship season for which will feature season updates, as well as new loopholes being introduced in terms of car design (They're getting rid of the DRS system that had been used from 2011, & replaced it with an IndyCar inspired push to pass system), plus the new track on the streets of Madrid in Spain called the Madring for which will be joining the calendar (Although there had been rumors/reports that it will not appear as part of the F1 25 2026 season expansion pack altogether), replacing the Emilia Romagna event in Imola, & the introduction of the Cadillac F1 Team from the United States as the 11th team on the grid with 22 cars taking part for the first time since 2016 & the new Audi F1 Team being brought in as replacement for the KICK Sauber F1 Team, even though with the developers are focusing next year as their main reason why that they'll be developing the next F1 video game (And it'll be the first game since F1 2015 to feature more than one season throughout).

So that is my 657th blog of the year 2026 (MMXXVI) & my 9th of this year, viva Ukraine.

P.S. And the political fraternity here in New Zealand is in mourning as former activist during his younger years, & mayor of Waitemata City from 1983 until 1989, then Invercargill from 1993 until 1995, & 1998 until 2022 of Sir Tim Shadbolt who was the longest serving mayor of our country has recently passed away aged 78, so they already sent all their thoughts, prayers, & heartfelt condolences go to the whanau & his loved ones, may you rest in love.

ManGetOut: My 8th Blog of the year 2026

Well, welcome to our readers here in New Zealand, & around the world, I'm Whetu Ngapo & you're tuning in to my KiwiAvenger blog here on blogger, but first in the gaming department that I recently purchased the PSP version of Tekken 6 on both versions of the PS4 (The version that I mainly play) & the PS5 (Never played that version before) on the PS5 console where it's got that rewind feature meaning that you have to go back to correct that certain error just like in the Tekken 3 game that I already own, but I mainly play the 4 characters such as the current main protagonist of Jin Kazama (A traditional Kyokushin Karate-ka (Although his fighting style used to be Mishima Style Fighting Karate in Tekken 3, then abandoning it in favour of his current fighting style before the events of Tekken 4) who is an anti-hero of that game when he took over as the CEO of Mishima Zaibatsu from the clutches of the late Jinpachi Mishima at the end of Tekken 5), Lars Alexandersson (The Swedish Tekken Force officer & Yggdrasil rebel leader who is one of the new characters of that game with the fictional Tekken Force Martial Arts being his fighting style that is a blend of Shorinji Kempo karate, military close-quarters combat, and acrobatics, emphasizing speed, quick reversals (Like his signature backflip kicks and stomps), and flashy, unpredictable moves, though some find his techniques overly flashy and impractical for real combat, focusing on style over raw power. He uses dynamic entries, knife-hand punches, and lightning-infused attacks (Representing his Mishima bloodline energy) to pressure opponents with quick, high/low mix-ups and powerful launchers), as well as a skilled female martial artist from China who is a practitioner of the Baguazhang & Piguaquan fighting styles of Ling Xiaoyu, & the female astrologist from an unknown nationality who is an ally of Jin Kazama in the later Tekken games such as Tekken 8 of new character Zafina (And I also play the 2 female rivals of schoolgirls Asuka Kazama (The one who hails from Japan utilizing Kazama style Traditional Martial Arts) & Lili (A young lady from Monaco who utilises Monegasque-Gymnastic Street Fighting Style), & both male friends from the United States such as Marshall Law (Who is an American of Chinese descent, & is a Jeet Kune Do practitioner based on the famous late Chinese-American martial artist Bruce Lee) & Paul Phoenix (The one whose fighting style is Integrated Martial Arts based on Judo).

And secondly onto the music related stuff as the name of the band of the Foo Fighters comes from a Second World War term used by the pilots of the Allied forces for UFOs (Or unidentified flying objects, & I did not know the name UFO exactly came from), so the lead singer & rhythm guitarist of that band of former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl chose the name of his band due to the fact that he was in a UFO phase at the time, & found the term to be a fitting name to be honest, despite later joking that it was a one being rather stupid to say the least (He used to live in Virginia then Washington D.C. during the days of the Cold War that he experienced with).

And thirdly that it's is going to be a busy December indeed last year that I've put stuff on the whiteboard such as the late Carole's memorial lunch being set up at Frank Bar on December 6th at 12pm (Andy & Kels will be here on time along with the late Carole's mates of Gill & CJ, & possibly Kathryn because I thought she was going to turn up here on either March or April this year, but she didn't turn up to attend a funeral of her friend who passed away as a result of a terminal illness (Meanwhile Zaki came along with Martin to attend their sister's memorial service back up in Auckland), then the annual Whanganui Christmas Parade taking place at 2pm a day later on Sunday, December 7th, a day before Aunty Tan & Rejean's arrival to New Zealand on December 8th (10th here in Whanganui), & last but not least, Christmas day (AKA the real thing for which is 27 days away as of November 28th last year) is happening on December 25th for which will be my fave time of the year along with my birthday on June 7th, 2 days after Dad & 3 days before Aunty Tan's, & our first without the late Carole (She was last here at Dad's place during Christmas time in 2022, then she wasn't here in Whanganui in both 2023 when she was with me & Pops in Northland, & in 2024 that she was in the UAE with her bro Zaki).

And lastly in the motor racing department as New Zealander Liam Lawson will in fact remain at RB Racing Bulls for next season as he is joined by his new teammate of Britain's F2 star & CTFROC champion Arvid Lindblad who takes the race seat previously occupied by the Red Bull bound Frenchman Isack Hadjar who joins 4 time world champ Max Verstappen as his new teammate for this year (Although Lindblad is of both Indian descent through his mum & Swedish through his dad).

So that is my 656th blog of the year 2026 (MMXXVI) & my 8th of this year, viva Ukraine.

Today's Song: My 7th Blog of the year 2026

Well, welcome to our readers here in New Zealand, & around the world, I'm Whetu Ngapo & you're tuning in to my KiwiAvenger blog here on blogger, but first in the music department that the Foo Fighters have released a new song that came out in October last year called 'Asking for a Friend', for which the song has a much darker tone than 'Today's Song' according to that certain Wikipedia page that I saw, & is the first with new drummer Ilan Rubin being involved on drums to a Foo Fighters song.

And secondly in rugby related news such as the Women's Rugby World Cup winning player for the England Red Roses women of winger Abby Dow who announces her retirement from playing aged 28, it had been confirmed on the 27th of November last year as she was one of the outstanding finishers of her generation, with Dow scoring a half century of tries just like her English teammate Jess Breach in just 59 caps for her country, but she has an engineering degree & intends to make that her career according to the newspaper article taken from Whanganui Chronicle.

And thirdly that Aston Martin have appointed a new team principal for this season, & it's Adrian Newey who is the star designer & top technical boffin formerly from Williams, McLaren & Red Bull as he replaces Andy Cowell who will assume into a strategy role as the Silverstone based constructor announced the senior management restructuring in a statement ahead of the next Grand Prix event in Qatar for which hosts the penultimate championship of last season, before Abu Dhabi hosts the season ending event as Newey, who won 12 drivers (First Nigel Mansell, then Damon Hill, Jacques Villeneuve, Mika Hakkinen twice, Sebastian Vettel 4 times, & Max Verstappen 4 times) & 13 constructors championships for 3 different teams, joined Aston Martin from Red Bull earlier last year as a shareholder & a managing technical partner of the team also according to the Whanganui Chronicle newspaper article that I saw.

And finally in the gaming department as Gran Turismo 7 have finally released the largest update in the game's history with 2 new circuits including Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve in Canada, & the Yas Marina Circuit in the UAE (And I love them both), & 8 new cars that turned gamers heads including my 4 faves, such as the Ferrari 296 road car, then the Renault Espace F1, as well as the GT3 version of the Ferrari 296, & perhaps, the most significant one of this lot, the Gran Turismo F3500-B for that is inspired by early 90's Formula One machinery just like the F3500-A for which that latest GT7 update (For which includes the Power Pack DLC that costs NZ$49.99, but I managed to unlock the Ford Mustang 2015 American Racer car (Which is inspired by Trans-Am racing in America, but the option of both the spoiler & bodywork comes from NASCAR, & it is powered by a V8 engine just like Trans-Am, NASCAR, & the Supercars Championship therefore the Mustang is America's last true Muscle car since both the Dodge Challenger, & the Chevy Camaro had gone obsolete & extinct) that I unlocked it, then bought it 4 times) would have to be by far, the greatest gaming updates of all time! Especially as a gamer indeed for that one will be that I have ever played of my whole life in the gaming history books (And it is a perfect match for me).

So that is my 655th blog of the year 2026 (MMXXVI) & my 7th of this year, viva Ukraine.

Return of the Mack: My 6th Blog of the year 2026

Well, welcome to our readers here in New Zealand, & around the world, I'm Whetu Ngapo & you're tuning in to my KiwiAvenger blog here on blogger, but first in the rugby department such as Dutch born AB's rookie Fabian Holland (The one who learnt the English language by listening to Justin Marshall's commentary, & lived in our country for 5 years (He went to Christchurch Boys High where he studied & played rugby there, & once he left high school that he moved to Dunedin in 2021 a year before making his Super Rugby Pacific debut for the Highlanders in 2022) before becoming eligible last year when he made his test debut against France in Dunedin (But there was once a story about him as the man born in Alkmaar who witnessed the All Blacks sevens when they were doing a training session in the Netherlands back in 2014 that aspired him to become a rugby player) who had recently won World Rugby's breakthrough XV's player of the year (While the men's XV player of the year went to by far the best hooker in world rugby of Malcolm Marx (It used to be our own Dane Coles (The best hooker New Zealand ever produced because I thought it was Sean Fitzpatrick) before Marx took over from him since he has gone on to become South Africa's best hooker since the days of John Smit) of the world champions South Africa (Who had been crowned the team of the year because they ruled the rugby world this year as they secured back to back Rugby Championships, while the World Rugby men's XV gong went to Pieter-Steph du Toit (Player of the game against New Zealand during that dramatic 2023 men's Rugby World Cup final for which was the strangest ever due to a red card by our All Blacks skipper at the time (After originally being given a sin binning offence & on report before it was upgraded to a send off offence) & a no try decision against New Zealand due to a knock on in the scrum which was the most controversial that both the English referee & the English TMO fell victim to online hate therefore triggering a war on abuse on social media which is kind of like free speech as well as hate speech that has the rugby world crying red card for which was dreadful & shocking according to the estimates such as the previous blogs that I did) in 2024 who is the South African Dupont, but it's the 2nd straight year that a Springbok player had won the top award (Frenchman Dupont won it in 2021, then Irishman Josh van der Flier claimed it in 2022, & our own All Black Ardie Savea in 2023 before it was du Toit in 2024 (Who also won it back in 2019) & Malcolm Marx last year), as he beat the likes of Australia's Joseph Aukuso-Sua'ali'i, South Africa's Ethan Hooker, & young Englishman Henry Pollock (But we must be a Savea because of the fact that the rugby world is full of Duponts & du Toits just like the political world must be a Zelensky as there is a life full of that greedy American leader & the leader who started that dreadful invasion since 2022).

And secondly that the release date of the Mortal Kombat 2 movie (Sequel to the 2021 film Mortal Kombat) starring New Zealander Karl Urban (One of my fave Kiwi movie stars along with Temuera Morrison (The former Shortland Street, Once Were Warriors & Star Wars Episodes II: Attack of the Clones & III: Revenge of the Sith actor who is the presenter of the TV programme called Earth Oven with Temuera Morrison), & is the one who appeared in both LOTR: the Two Towers & the Return of the King movies as Eomer, as well as the 2005 film that came out of Doom as John 'Reaper' Grimm that he appeared alongside American pro wrestler turned film star Dwayne Johnson) as the world famous American action movie star Johnny Cage due to come out in November last year, had been changed to May this year instead throughout.

And thirdly into American politics that damn, why there has been a war on flag burning in the United States back in August last year? (Oh, hell! I did not need to see that!) Just because that dreadful American leader had signed an executive order therefore tightening the legislations regarding to desecrating the American flag thinking that it's anti-American stuff for which is prohibited (Well, it's sort of like America's war on abortion when the supreme court overturned Roe v Wade in 2022 therefore the Americans were in fact, weaponizing on abortion by prohibiting it meaning that it has been outlawed on that occasion).

And lastly that I had a great time at Frank Bar during the memorial lunch honouring one of my close friends of the late Carole Webb as I was there along with Pops, Carole's son Andy (Who I'll be seeing him this month), Kelsey (I'll be seeing her along with her husband also this month), Dad, Raewyn, Raewyn's daughter, Bryan, Viv, Gill & CJ (But unfortunately Kathryn could not make it as she opted to pull out of the last minute as she had to take care of her terminal illness stricken friend who is about to pass away anytime back in Northland), but I'm looking forward to the Christmas parade for that is due on December 7th last year scheduled for 2pm until 4pm, as well as seeing Aunty Tan & Rejean return to New Zealand shores for the first time since 2024, & Christmas coming up which is due on December 25th with a dinner at my old flat (And the pressies that I'm getting is money from Pops & the Brad Pitt F1 movie on Blu-ray from Dad that he's already got it for when he gives it to me).

So that is my 654th blog of the year 2026 (MMXXVI) & my 6th of this year, viva Ukraine.
